  • Title: Target-specific anti-fungal discovery by targeting Geotrichum candidum histidinol dehydrogenase: a hybrid approach.
    Author: Pahwa S, Chavan AG, Jain R, Roy N.
    Journal: Chem Biol Drug Des; 2008 Sep; 72(3):229-34. PubMed ID: 18715230.
    Abstract:
    This study describes a hybrid approach of screening substrate analogue inhibitors of histidinol dehydrogenase. Imidazole derivative library of approximately 400 compounds classified using Hierarchical cluster analysis, representative compounds of each class were tested in enzymatic assay and used for the development of quantitative structure-activity relationship models. Rest of the compounds in the library were screened using developed models and compounds predicted active were retested. 60% of the predicted compounds showed enzyme inhibition activity with IC(50) values ranged between 5.2 and 58.0 microm range and have fungistatic activity.
